Symphony No. 2 ''Resurrection''

Album by Gustav Mahler & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Sir Georg Solti

Symphony No. 2 'Resurrection' is the second symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894 and first performed in 1895. The work is a large-scale late-Romantic symphony that blends expansive orchestral writing, pronounced dynamic contrasts and a final choral movement to explore themes of death and resurrection, and it occupies an important place in Mahler's development towards his later monumental symphonies.
